well i walked over the bridge into the city where i live...

this is my last post from ireland. i am sad to see my virtual trip back to ireland is over, but i am glad i got to experience. hopefully you like these last few from Kylemore Abbey and a small coastal town.

who picked it up in county cork a-kissin' the blarney stone...

so after such a long hiatus, i am just post happy i suppose. here are some pictures of bunratty castle and the town of blarney, home of the infamous blarney stone....

i'm pointed home, we've still got time. raise your hopeful voice...

sorry for a bit of a hiatus there. so after madrid with the family, we took a look around spain together. we went back to salamanca and i finally explored ávila for a little tiny bit. we had a lot of fun doing that. we ended up in ávila due to a bit of bad directing on my part on the highway, but i did not have a map, so the fact that we got there without major problems is pretty impressive i think.


one of the longer days in my life was spent again in granada. it is a beautiful city that everyone should see, but driving eight hours in a day to see the city and staying until 12a is hard. we went to the alhambra, walked the city a bit, ate kebap and saw some flamenco. so it was good, but we did not get back to madrid until 4am. so that was rough.


but here is a bit of "what went down"
